It’s for the novice fighting frustration over drainage issues that drown seedlings days after planting them. It’s for those who have invested back-breaking effort into amending the heavy clay soil in their landscape beds only to find their shrubs desiccated a couple months later. And it’s for the homesteader surrounded by acres of compacted, brittle earth who wants to regenerate that land into a pastoral paradise.How to overcome hard unforgiving soil with clay and no present of any nutrients for a garden to survive this book is for the passionate gardener who stares forlornly over bone-dry, cracked earth or dense blocks of impenetrable clay and dreams of one day having vibrant raised beds overflowing with ripe tomatoes, bee-buzzing squash blossoms, and fragrant herbs.This book speaks directly to the small-scale home gardener in addressing three key differences in residential plots:- Realistic limitations in budget, labor capacity, and vertical depth for amending soils- Guidance on safely managing existing soil biology rather than eradicating it- A focus on gently accelerating natural processes using affordable materials rather than expensive equipment-reliant techniquesYou’ll also find a practical troubleshooting guide for unlocking the potential of unique soil challenges from drought-prone sandy soils to boggy clays rather than a one-size-fits all approach. Resources abound for the perfectly balanced loam, but little exists tailored to real-world residential plots. This book fills that gap.
